Yeah I would expect 3 or 4 more good seasons from Russ. Problem is, you're going to have to overpay for those services compared to other QB's, and that cost takes away from other roster talent.
Yes, that's nature of the QB position. Overpay is one way to say it I guess. Market value is another. Aaron Rodgers is reportedly going to get an extension (after all the antics of the past 14 months that were way worse than anything RW ever did here by a mile) that will get him $50M/yr on paper.

I hear that $153 million of that $200 is guaranteed too! That is NUTS. I don't think the Seahawks would have the same success if they were to pay Russ that type of contract. They have too many holes that need to be filled, and with a run-first offense anyways, why not try to go with a game manager at QB at a fraction of the cost? I could see us winning just as many games next season going that route.

1. Seattle traded their first round pick as part of the Jamal Adams trade, so adding the Bronco's pick brings them back to 1.
Thank you ...that was the part I was missing.

You didn't see it coming, you wanted it to come. There is a difference.

Just last week i said
"Dont be surprised if he gets traded"
But you're right I had no idea it would happening just as shocked as the rest of you

I dont know you were coping pretty hard when I was laying out the facts in this thread: Wilson has skills

I'm not even sure what you're talking about anymore.

This guy makes some good points about Wilson and why he may not automatically make the broncos contenders

People wonder why our nation is going to shit in a hand basket it's because people can't think for themselves and believe everything the media tells them and then say that it's their opinion also lol.

fooking lemmings. I'm paying over 6 dollars a damn gallon for gas now you FOOKING LEMMINGS and my money is not worth SHIT it's like i lost 20% of my Pay ( I didn't but might as well have! ) because of you fooking lemmings! lol

So it's been a few days and I have to say I still think this was a disastrous move.

I do think that if we are going to keep Pete and JS then moving on from Russ makes sense.

But keeping Pete was the wrong move. There just isn't any reason to believe that they are going to catch lightning in a bottle and draft a bunch of Hall of Famers. And there is no reason to believe that Pete's system is going somehow work again without having 3 All Pro level talents on defense.

The media has been saying that Russ is going to be traded for a year. Saying "Don't be surprised if they trade them" isn't exactly a bold take.

........which is exactly why you get backlash. You've been promoting "They suck, blow it all up" even when the team was getting 10-12 wins. Then you act as if you were Nostradamus when they actually do trade RW.........after you have been harping on it over and over for 5-6 years or so.

If you can't see why people react negatively because of this, well, that is on you. You bring it on yourself.

Did anyone watch the video i dropped in here last night? He makes some great points about the teams success post SB loss including about the unimpressive three playoff wins.

The media has been saying that Russ is going to be traded for a year. Saying "Don't be surprised if they trade them" isn't exactly a bold take.

And yet everyone here is shocked that it happened.
